Lots around just ask my stupid beagle. LOL

Couldnt stand the heat year round,
Would miss winter way too much.
Get soft living down there.
No Thanks.

I'm with Boco on this. And I was born and raised in FLA. I knew where nautical north was when I was six. I will nevah live east of the divide, or further south than I am in the mountains. If I do move, it will be to Alaska. That's it.

I still like to say y'all and slide into my southern drawl at times, for fun .

Soft? You would wither away in August. Can always put on more cloths, even fur, to stay warm in winter. If you went naked down here in August you would still sweat like a woman of ill repute in church.

Soft? Go hang with Boco for a couple weeks and get back to us if you make it.

Florida is a nice state. Been there in winter and summer visiting the in laws when they were alive. Winter months were OK, but summers were unbearable. Year round residents don't go outside in the summer during the day. I could never live like that.

Law Dog, I don't think I'm allowed in Canada. I didn't take the jesus jab. He could come hang with me and I could get him on a crew doing metal roofing in the middle of summer. Fifteen minute break in the morning and afternoon with a 30 minute lunch. Will definitely get a tan.
As for winter, I've seen a native Alaskan shivering in 35 degree weather down in these parts. I was really surprised but he told me it felt about like -30 to him. Lol.

You can get into Canada without the jab. I have been there twice since covid no jab.

Clay -
While in ND - I often wondered why no one had beagles. We would jump jack rabbits and I often wondered how big a circle one of those would make with a good track dog behind them.........maybe they dont circle but I know they run lines and patterns and have trails..

Must have been a different Northern Indiana from where I live.

I've found people from Indiana to be quite friendly. You must have been in Gary. And in Minnesota we've got that Minnesota nice thing going on don'tcha know. You haven't lived til you had a Minnesota church basement funeral lunch, tater tot hotdish, jello with grated carrots mixed in. We only use 2 spices, salt and pepper.

Being a darn yankee, I find the over the top niceness suspicious, lol, and apparently i'm not totally wrong. My daughter has lived and worked in several southern states and says there's a lot of passive aggressive "niceness" to decipher, especially with the women...
We have rude people here too, but I must say the majority are pretty easy going. So much depends on your own attitude, I suspect it's the same most places.

I was in FLA in 1980 for 3 weeks during the Spring Break-some of the friendliest women I ever met.

I had a roommate from southern Tennessee while I served my country overseas. He called me a "danged" Yankee or carpetbagger. I called him a "danged" Easterner. We got along fine and I even got used to listening to George Jones when we threw darts. Might of got a little dicey when he was talking about hush puppies and I thought he meant shoes.

Different interactions with people in different parts of the Country heck people act different in other parts of some states. The last time I pointed this exact thing out some joker tried to turn it into what it never was, lol

That's exactly what the californians do here. " This how we do it in California "

The first action they take when they get here is to join their HOA , then the school board , then the city council

It's nothing but destruction

Again, as Warrior stated earlier, "You just stay where you are."
You'll just have to find a way to love us from afar.

Hush puppies lol. ...... yep I moved from California to Tennessee for awhile

Southern Tennessee???

Ain't really a thing since you pretty much can drive from Alabama to Kentucky in half a day including going through Nashville.

Now east to west is a different thing.

I generally find, “the tone you set, is the tone you get”…
Has worked for me all over.
